Overview
Learning how to play Poker is not that difficult, but don't let the simplicity of the game mislead you. That's the inspiration for the famous saying about Texas hold'em that "it takes a moment to learn, but a lifetime to master."
When playing the game for the first time, you will want to be familiar with the basic rules for Texas hold'em that are explained below.
Playing Game
The standard 52 card pack is used. There must be at least 2 people to play. The game is for 2- 10people and it is best to play the game with 9, 6, 2 people. When playing Texas HoldEm poker, every player is dealt two cards face down – these are called your 'hole cards'. The dealer spreads five cards - three at once, then another, then another - which can be used by all players to make their best possible five-card hand.

b. Rule game
The player directly to the left of the button posts the small blind, and the player to his or her direct left posts the big blind. The small blind is generally half the amount of the big blind, although this stipulation varies from room to room and can also be dependent of the game being played. For example, in a "$1/$2" game of Texas hold'em, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2.
The players would be required to put money into the pot. To ensure there will be "action" on every hand. The players can control charge coin from minimum to maximum.
In Hold'em, each player is dealt two private cards (known as ‘hole cards’) that belong to them alone. Five community cards are dealt face-up, to form the ‘board’. All players in the game use these shared community cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to each make their best possible five-card poker hand. In Hold'em, a player may use any combination of the seven cards available to make the best possible five-card poker hand, using zero, one or two of their private hole cards. someone will bet enough that everyone else folds. This is how most hands end in Texas Hold'em and that's the magic of the game – you don't always need the best hand to win.
In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands. Hold'em rules state that all suits are equal.
c. Player Betting Options
In Hold'em, as with other forms of poker, the available actions are ‘fold’, ‘check’, ‘bet’, ‘call’ or ‘raise’. Exactly which options are available depends on the action taken by the previous players. If nobody has yet made a bet, then a player may either check (decline to bet, but keep their cards) or bet.
If a player has bet, then subsequent players can fold, call or raise.
To call is to match the amount the previous player has bet.
To raise is to not only match the previous bet, but to also increase it.
d. Poker Hands
These hand rankings aren't specifically part of Texas hold'em rules, but apply to many different poker games.
- Royal Flush — five cards of the same suit, ranked ace through ten;
- Straight Flush — five cards of the same suit and consecutively ranked;
- Four of a Kind — four cards of the same rank
- Full House — three cards of the same rank and two more cards of the same rank;
- Flush — any five cards of the same suit;
- Flush — any five cards of the same suit;
- Straight — any five cards consecutively ranked;
- Three of a Kind — three cards of the same rank;
- Two Pair — two cards of the same rank and two more cards of the same rank;
- One Pair — two cards of the same rank;
- One Pair — two cards of the same rank;
- High Card — five unmatched cards; e.g., A♣J♦10♠5♣2♥ would be called "ace-high"
Remember, players construct their hands by choosing the five best cards from the seven available (their two hole cards and the five community cards).
For example, if the board is showing 9♣5♠K♦3♠A♥, a player with the two hole cards A♦9♠ would have two pair (aces and nines), and would lose to a player who has 9♦9♥ for three of a kind (three nines).
